@NicelyManifest The Keep-at-it - like your mind is a distracted puppy. No punishment or self-blame, just continuous gentle correction. I am familiar with this notion.

@NicelyManifest Thanks. I used to be pretty good about doing some mindful meditation every day, and it really did help me. But I have some kind of internal block now - maybe because it was during an unfortunate relationship - who knows.

So I am first going to find a local meditation group since doing things in groups is really helpful for me.

But I really sit better with either secular or Theravadan Buddhist traditions of mindfulness, and that seems to not be around where I am.

@PetraPhoenix That works for me too - but again, not always a viable solution. I actually do that with my eldest child quite often since it helps them too ️

@NicelyManifest Such a great suggestion. I *know* mindfulness meditation does good things for me. But I am too far away from starting that on my own right now. Maybe I should just go back to a few mindful breaths a day. I could manage that.

My career coach says that many neurodivergent folks really struggle getting started on tasks. When I feel overwhelmed, I even feel nauseous at just the THOUGHT of opening my PC.

What do other AuDHD folks do?

I am afraid that I have run for so long on cortisol and urgency that I have no mental toolkit for healthy work habits ️.

@NickEast_IndieWriter They didn't include PACE - which is where I have to get up and stomp around, muttering to myself, because I am so ANGRY about what I have read.
